Show HN: Gitlogue - A terminal tool that replays your Git commits
with animation
Gitlogue is a CLI that turns your Git commits into a typing-style
replay. It visualizes diffs line by line, shows the file tree, and
plays back each edit as if it were typed in real time. Key points
* Realistic typing animation * Syntax-highlighted diffs * File-
tree view * Replay any commit * Self-contained CLI Demo video is
in the README. Repo: https://github.com/unhappychoice/gitlogue
